Is Your ISP Limiting Usenet Downloads?

ISP Usenet Bandwidth Throttling

Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) have implemented what is best known as traffic shaping or bandwidth throttling to help lower the resources used on their networks. To counter these tactics used by ISP’s Usenet providers such as Fastusenet.org have implemented secure socket layer connections (SSL) that use alternative routes on the Internet that most ISP don’t monitor or shape the traffic for. That’s why 99% of our users are able to access Usenet using their Internet connections full download potential.

Let’s say for example you have Usenet access with a Usenet provider who only offers the standard Usenet port connections (port 119 and 563). ISP’s know these ports are used for Usenet connections and implement traffic shaping to reduce speeds which lessens the burden on their network. But wait… If you’re paying for Internet access shouldn’t you be able to use it how you want. If you want to download at your Internet full speed everyday shouldn’t you be able too. At Fastusenet.org we think you should.
